The Ugly Duckling Of The Tiger Tribe-Chapter 80: I did too much

The closer Kaelor got, the more anxious I became.

I couldn’t push him away because my body wouldn’t respond to me for some reason, as if it wanted this.

Darn, Arinya, how could you have thrown yourself at your brother? I know your life was hard but wasn’t falling for your brother and even kissing him crossing the line?

I mean, come on, even if he was the only one who showed you care, that’s because he was your brother and...

My mind was twisted, and while it did seem like blaming the past Arinya for her choice, it’s not like that would help me in my current situation.

I could try to talk Kaelor out of it, but that look in his eyes was something I couldn’t hear through to.

"You have Fenric’s scent all over you." He said and I gulped, my heart racing unsteadily. "You two must’ve had a fun time before meeting me. Was he good?"

"I..." Why ask such things like you’re a pervert?

"You smell like you enjoyed it."

So he can smell that now?

"All around you smells like the matting process. You mustn’t have had time to clean up yet."

Why was I having this conversation with someone who had such delirious eyes towards me? Someone who was trying to steal my lip?

At least I’ve regained a bit of control now.

I pressed my hand on his chest, trying to push him away but I paused.

This guy... He had such hard pectoral muscles.

Ah, I thought they’d be soft since they were a bit packed, but they’re not. It’s actually as hard as a rock, and then it’s even harder down there too... I subconsciously ran my hand down from his chest to his abs.

This... They were as hard as Fenric’s.

I guess he wasn’t kidding when he said he was trying to become a beast warrior like Fenric.

"Arinya, are you being naughty right now?" He asked and I flinched, looking up at his face in shock.

I did too much.

Can my obsession not see that I am in a moment of crisis?

Kaelor looked like a hungry beast that was going to gobble me up in an instant.

"That... I’m sorry. I just... I..."

He leaned his body closer again, pressing against mine and I pursed my lips.

I should’ve used that opportunity to run. When my body finally listened to me, why didn’t I just get away? Instead, I went ahead to caress his abs?

Damn, my cursed obsession with abs.

"Arinya," Kaelor leaned in again and I gulped. "I know this is wrong."

I nodded.

Yes, this is definitely wrong.

"But I can’t help it. I’m confused with my feelings right now."

Please don’t be confused. I’m your sister, okay.

"And I know you are too. So, one more time," he leaned his face closer attempting to kiss me for real this time. "With this, I can finally understand what is it my heart is yearning."

I frowned, pursing my lips to avoid the kiss and doing my best to push myself back but he held me firmly, like my weight was nothing more than a soft feather pillow.

This feeling of not being able to control my body however I wanted was so concerning and unpleasant.

It was going to make me do what I didn’t want to do.

I wished for something to happen. Anything that would make sure this kiss never happened and then my wish came true.

As Kaelor drew closer, his eyes caught on to the white mark of a slithering being on my neck and he paused.

At first, he wasn’t sure but then he slid my hair aside, causing me to flinch knowing he had discovered the mark.

His eyebrows immediately furrowed, his soft gaze replaced with anger and his face twisted in disdain. Then he asked,

"Where did you get that mark from?"

My entire body froze at his question. The way his gaze turned from affectionate to rage was scary, and I gulped.

"Arinya," he grabbed my shoulder, gripping tightly as he glared with rage, but inside that rage was concern. "What happened? Did you get forced by a snake?"

"N-no," I stuttered, my heart hammering against my ribs.

"Then where did you get this mark from? How could a snake have marked you?" He raised his voice, shouting as the possibility that I had been kidnapped and forced to mate with a snake crossed his mind.

I don’t know if he was like this out of sheer concern, or if it was jealousy at play but it was right out scary.

I don’t think I’ve been this scared ever since... Well, since, I don’t know, I’ve never been this scared.

Not when I came across a huge ass snake beastman, not when I was in front of Fenric’s beast form and not even when it looked like I had disappointed Damar by letting Fenric mark me first.

It wasn’t like this at all.

This time, I could feel my entire body trembling, just looking at the rage in his eyes.

Was this the feeling one gets when their loved ones suddenly get enraged at them?

Was it because deep in Arinya’s heart, Kaelor held a special and most important spot that it hurt like this?

Yes, it hurts. My heart keeps aching as he rants, angrily, trying to uncover the truth.

The rage and disappointment in his voice, clouding the concern I felt earlier made me wish the ground would just open up and swallow me.

"Arinya!" He yelled my name and I flinched.

My eyes grew teary and before long, those tears began to roll down.

Seeing my tears, Kaelor froze.

He had been yelling on and on, trying to uncover what had happened but he didn’t even give me a chance to speak. Didn’t try to hear me out and made all his speculations which only hurt me more.

Was this the love and care he had for his sister.

"Arinya, I..."

All of a sudden, a being swooshed in, putting us both at alert but before Kaelor could act, it was already too late for him.

The one who swooshed in, stole me from his arms and then knocked Kaelor away was none other than Damar.

He swung his tail, whipping Kaelor far until his back hit the trees and held me protectively, hissing, with his eyes turned feral.

"You don’t get to touch what doesn’t belong to you." He hissed. "I’ll make you pay for making Arinya cry."
